Conditions of Sale 


1. Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by 
the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid would be likely to affect the sale in- 
juriously. 

2. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arise between 
two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for 
re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

g. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the purchase money as 
may be required, and the names and addresses of the purchasers shall be given 
immediately on the sale of every lot, in default of which the lot so purchased 
shall be immediately put up again and re-sold. 

Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at the time of sale, 
shall be made within ten days thereafter, in default of which the undersigned may 
either continue to hold the lots at the risk of the purchaser and take such action 
as may be necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private 
sale, and without other than this notice, re-sell the lots for the benefit of such pur- 
chaser, and the deficiency (if any) arising from such re-sale, shall be a charge 
against such purchaser. 

4, Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon payment of the total 
amount due for all purchases at the sale. 

Deliveries will be made on sales days between the hours of 9 A. M. and 1 P. M., 
and on other days—except holidays—between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. 

Delivery of any purchase will be made only at the American Art Galleries, or 
other place of sale, as the case may be, and only on presenting the bill of purchase. 

Delivery may be made, at the discretion of the Association, of any purchase 
during the session of the sale at which it was sold. 

5. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the 
Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed by the Association 
for purchasers. The Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility 
for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, how- 
ever, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges 
of the parties engaged for such service. 

6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the purchaser. Title 
passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter, while the Asso- 
ciation will exercise due caution in caring for and delivering such purchase, it 
will not hold itself responsible if such purchase be lost, stolen, damaged or 
destroyed. 

Storage charges will be made upon all purchases not removed within ten days 
from the date of the sale thereof. 

7. Guarantee is not made either by the owner or the Association of the cor- 
rectness of the description, genuineness or authenticity of any lot, and no sale will 
be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing, or any imper- 
fection not noted. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its 
sale, after which it is sold “as is” and without recourse. 

The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly, and will 
give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any

The above letter written while President of the United States relates 
to the revenue of the country, reading in part,— 

“T am rejoiced to find that the prospects of the Revenue for the present 
year, encourage the expectation that there will be no deficiency to in- 
trench upon the annual appropriation of ten Millions, to the discharge 
of the principal and interest of the Public Debt—My apprehension how- 
ever has been that the deficiency would be more considerable the next 
than the present year: and I very cordially congratulate you, that the 
result, will afford so satisfactory a commentary upon the accuracy of your 
fiscal anticipations. 

I have received anonymous complaints against Captain Matthews, Com- 
mander of the revenue Cutter at Charleston, S. C. who is charged with 
wasting his own time and misusing the Vessel. The Collector of the 
Port, shares in part of the censure. He is now in this part of the coun- 
try; and has visited me—But said nothing to me, nor I to him wpon 
public business.”

“Since I parted with you at Albany I have reflected that a number of

from the balloting—I mean the Locations which are South of the Line 
of Cession or line of purchase of 1769. . . 

You will also observe that the Locations which I have filed, have en- 
dorsed on them an Acknowledgement taken before a Judge of the Supreme 
Court of the actual signing of the persons whose Names are affixed to 
them, which also effectually removes any suspicion of their being fictious 
names—of their being signed without the consent of the several persons.

I walk therein amid the din 
Of busy London day. 

I walk where wealth and squalor meet, 
And think upon a time 

When others trod this saintly sod 
And heard St. Martin’s chime.” 


“But when those solemn bells invoke 
The midnight’s slumbrous grace, 
The ghosts of men come back again 
To haunt that curious place; 
The ghosts of sages, poets, wits 
Come back in goodly train 
And all night long, with mirth and song, 
They walk St. Martin's Lane.”

how enchanted I will be to see you at this affair, if the date suits you 
and you would like to come, providing you can get away from London for 
a while: I hope you will bring with you any member of your family you 
desire. I have made no similar invitation to the Countesse of Stahrem- 
berg thinking on account of the bad weather she would be loath to take 
such a long voyage. But I will beg of you to give her my compliments 
and to tell her that I thought of inviting her, and that I hope she wll 
always do me the honor of paying me a visit, and that by doing so she 
will make me very happy to allow me to receive her. In short if you can 
come, bring whom you wish. Goodbye my dear Count. I am always, 
yours, 

Your faithful friend, 
GrEoRGE R.”

AN IMPORTANT WAR LETTER, AND A VERY FINE SPECIMEN. Mentions Gen- 
erals Meigs, Thomas and Sherman, and directs the recipient to take Mo- 
bile, destroy rail-road, rolling stock, ete. Owing to the importance of 
the communication, it is quoted in full. 

“T am in receipt of a dispatch from Gen. Meigs informing me that you 
have made requisition for a construction corpts and material to build 70 
miles of rail-road. I have directed that none be sent. Gen. Thomas army 
has been depleted to send a force to you that they might be when they 
could act in the winter and at least detain the force the enemy had in 
the West. If there had been any idea of repairing rail-roads it could have 
been done much better from the North when we already had the troops. 
I expected your movements to have been co-operative with Sherman's 
last. This has now entirely failed. I wrote to you long ago urging you 
to push forward promptly and to live upon the country and destroy rail- 
roads, machine shops and not to build them. Take Mobile and hold it 
and push your forces to the interior to Montgomery and Selma. Destroy 
rail-road, rolling stock and everything useful for carrying on war and 
when you have done this take such positions as can be supplied by water. 
By this means alone you can occupy positions from which the enemy’s 
roads in the interior can be kept broken.

1791. To Thomas Mifflin (President of the Pennsylvania Council). 
With engraved portrait and colored lithograph. Together, 3 pieces. 


Written while Secretary of the Treasury, and relating to claims of 
Pennsylvania.— 

“IT am very sorry that the absence of the Comptroller of the Treasury, 
in consequence of ill health, renders it impossible to complete at this 
time the adjustment of the purchase, which is the subject of your 
Excellency’s letter of the 26th instant. 

Immediately after his return, which will probably be in about ten 
days, the most particular attention will be paid to the business. 

I observe with pleasure that the opinion of the Attorney General of 
Pennsylwania obviates a material part of the question which has existed 
between the Comptroller of the Treasury of the United States and the 
Comptroller General of Pensylvania; and I imagine that a very simple 
inquiry on the return of the former to this place will remove any 
remaining difference of construction.”

Boston, October 21, 1884. 


Apparently written to Henry S. Dana, the historian of Woodstock, Vt., 
and of unusual interest. Marked “private,” and relating to literary 
work.— 

“T have too much respect for a check for two hundred dollars to send 
it back by return mail. But back it must go, and back it will come, 
with thanks and regrets that I cannot oblige you and accept my forty 
guineas. 

I have promised all that I write for the present to the Atlantic 
Monthly and of course I must decline all temptations to literary in- 
jfidelities. 

I am pleased to hear of all you are doing for Woodstock, and very 
glad that its history is to be written. I have Miss Larned’s History of 
Windham County, in which I found a great deal of interesting matter, 
and I shall look forward to the history of the town with eager antici- 
pation. 

You will see at once why the enclosure of your letter must go back, 
and appreciate the sentiment which would not allow me to send it to 
stare you in the face in this note.”

obliging 
Yrs truly 
W. Hone.” 
With the following manuscript copy regarding the same,— 
“Knox’s ‘Spirit of Despotism.’ 

In 1810 Mr. Rutt bought a copy of this work at a bookstall. It is 
without publisher’s name, printed in 1795. Mr. Hone having seen it, 
set about finding another, & after much trouble succeeded, & published 
a reprint therefrom. Mr. Thos. Law, brother of Lord Ellenborough, had 
a third copy which he took to America & published an Edition there. 
From some circumstances Mr. Hone was led to conclude that Dr Vicesimus 
Knox was the author, & the doctor owned to him that he was so, & 
informed him (first exacting a promise that it should not be made 
public until after his death) that the M.S. was given to his usual pub- 
lisher the late Mr Dilly, & by him sent to the late Mr Strahan for 
printing. Just as the work had gone through the press Mr Strahan 
took fright at some of its anti-courtly passages, & alarmed Mr Dilly, 
& and neither would venture his name to it. Under these circumstances 
Dr Knox, being unwilling that his book should steal into the world with- 
out a printer or publisher’s name, destroyed all the impression—1008 
copies—saving four only, one of which he kept in his own library, the 
second came into the possession of Mr Law, & the third & fourth were 
afterwards picked up by Mr Rutt & Mr Hone.” ;

AN IMPORTANT HISTORICAL LETTER, WRITTEN WHILE JEFFERSON WAS PRESI- 
DENT, AND RELATING TO THE MOVEMENTS OF THE BRITISH FLEET AND THEIR 
PROBABLE INTENTIONS.— » 

a - Should the British squadron leave their station in Hampton 
road we might then retire from this place, which will soon begin to 
experience the diseases of the season, the retirement of the squadron 
from James river would enable us to join the eight gunboats now ar 
Norfolk, 4 which are at Hampton, & 4 in Mockjack bay, these once 
brought together might pick up all the tenders & small vessels, oblige 
the squadron to keep together, and effectually protect the Chesapeake,

é Sibylle frigates in New York we shall have in the course of a month 
32 gunboats; & probably effectual batteries along the beach of the 
city. I inclose you a Norfolk paper of the 8th, we do not know how 
Douglass has received the Proclamation. Erskine is of opinion they 
are unauthorised in their proceedings, if so, their government cannot 
hesitate about that ample satisfaction which the case demands but be 
this ever so ample, my opinion is that we ought not to suffer another 
armed vessel of any nation to enter our waters, they are now in the 
constant habit of bringing vessels to as freely in our waters as out of 
them, & of firing at them, so that our citizens can no longer pass with 
safety to their lives, this is a state of things never again to be borne, 
but as it is possible their pride may be stronger than their justice, we are 
making every preperation for war which the interval between us & that 
will permit. I suppose our fate will depend on the successes or reverses 
of Buonaparte, it is hard to be obliged to wish successes so little con- 
sonant with our principles. . .”

““Hger—Bohemia— 
May 21st 1870—” 
“Hon James H. Orne 

My dear Sir: 

How true it is, that we never know what a day even an hour may 
bring forth—6 hours after I wrote you my note of thanks yesterday 
morning, I found myself sick & weary hearted, en route to Marienbad, 
It happened thus—I had accompanied my young son into Frankfurt, 
from his country school—near the latter place—also to receive some 
instruction from my physician, when a London paper was handed me, 
giving me the harassing intelligence—that the Senate Com—had decided 
adversely—After my expectations being so highly raised by the House, 
you can imagine perhaps in a measure my tired feelings—As wusual—the 
immensely magnified amount of my means was given as an apology— 
The false & greatly exaggerated statement—passes understanding. It is 
a ‘wicked & cruel invention of the enemy.’ May Our Heavenly Father, 
forgive all such, who would by this means endeavor to injure & defraud 
the widow & orphans of the great & good man, who loved and served 
his country so well. The news overcame me, in my weak state of health 
—A dear & kind German lady friend urged me to go immediately to the 
baths prescribed for me so urgently by my physician—this latter person 
was sent for my by her—my little baggage was soon packed they drove 
with me to the depot—placed me in under the care of some very genteel 
& kind Germans (lady & gentleman strangers to me who were coming 
as far as this place—Here I am this morning sick & miserable Unat- 
tended by a servant either—for you may well believe, dear Mr. Orne— 
in my shattered health—if I hade one half of the means attributed to 
me—I should never be without one—May all those be forgiven who 
would so attempt to injure me. Will the Senate allow it to remain 
thus ?—There are too many noble men in that body—to leave me longer 
in the very sad state, I find myself. I wish very much you would see 
a letter my good son Robert, wrote Sen—Trumbull in reply to one— 
he—Mr. T. addressed him. You will there find—some of the reasons 
why my means are insufficient for me to live comfortably—as the widow 
of the very plainest citizen—I should be unable to do so After the death 
of my dearly beloved husband—just so soon—as my shocked senses— 
could be regained—I gave directions to my son & every one to collect

together every bill large & small—and living as we necessarily had to— 
my husband not being rich—you may well believe they were numerous— 
I paid them all & they were deducted from any thing—that was coming 
to me—all contributions—were thus used up—as well as much else—It 
was our pride to have it said that there were no debts against the estate 
—but I can assure you—in perfect truth that many dinnerless days, have 
fallen to my portion, in consequence of all this—Lodging in high & mean 
apartments—where formerly I would not have placed a favorite ser- 
vant, I can say no more---only the picture is not as dark as the reality 
has been—Forgive this scrawl & the tear stained paper—Please write & 
direct to care Phillip, Nicoll, Schnil as usual— 

With many apologies for giving you an exact statement of every 
thing, I remain, 

Most respectfully yours 
May LINCOLN.”

An important and exceedingly interesting letter in which Nelson 
sets forth, at some length, his fears of the islanders of Malta going over 
to the French, and strongly urges his plan for securing their allegiance 
to the English Sovereign. Mentioning, among others, General Acton, 
General H. E. Fox, and Col. Graham. 

“T am in desperation about Malta. We shall lose it, I am afraid, past 
all redemption. . . If Ball can hardly keep the inhabitants in hope of 
relief by the 500 men landed from our ships, what must be expected when 
400 of them and 4 sail of the line will be withdrawn, and if the islanders 
are forced again to join the French we may not find even landing a very 
easy task, much less to get again our present advantageous position. I 
therefore entreat for the honour of our King . . . that the garrison of — 
Messina may be ordered to hold post in Malta until a sufficient force 
can be collected to attack it. . . . this is a great and important moment, 
and the only thing to be considered is His Majesty’s service and not to 
stand still for an instant. . . . May God direct your councils for the 
honour of our King and his allies and to the destruction of the French.

An unusually interesting letter, recommending his Military Secretary, 
Col. Hervey, as a proper person to marry Mrs. Caton’s daughter,— 
iy “Dear Madam You will perhaps be surprised at receiving a letter from 
1\ a person entirely unknown to you. and IT can justify the liberty which 
I take in writing to you only by vertuy of the motive which urges me to 
it. Mrs. Paterson will inform you by this occasion that my Military 
Secretary and Aid de Camp Colonel Hervey has made @ proposal of 
Marriage to your youngest Daughter, and I conceive that it may be 
satisfactory to you to receive from myself some account of this Person, 
before you decide whether you will confide to him your daughter’s hap- 
piness at such a distance as she will probably pass her life from yourself. 
I have known Colonel Hervey for many years; and he has served with - 
me since the year 1809; and I have never known or heard any thing 
of him but what was good. He is highly respected & beloved by the 
World & those who know him; and I must say that I dowt know a 
better Man one of more easy temper, or better calculated to make the 
person happy who should consent to pass her life with him. During the 
War in the Peninsula his Duiy kept him generally at a distance from me, 
but I had such a regard for him, and his Company was so agreeable to 
me that he passed much of his time with me; and I had ample oppor- 
tunities of knowing him; and when my Military Secretary Lord Fitz Roy 
was disabled in the Battle of Waterloo I requested Colonel Hervey to 
take his cituation; notwithstanding that he also had been disabled by 
the loss of his Right Arm on a former occasion. I cannot give you a

tached on Whatman paper, and matted, the whole bound in an 
oblong folio volume of full light blue levant morocco, lettered on 
side, gilt edges, BY RIVIERE. London, 1818 

OF THE GREATEST RARITY. 

About 1817 or 1818, the 1 pound notes of the Bank of England were 

0 put in circulation. They were frequently forged, and the penalty for 
nb passing one was Death. 

Cruikshank saw a number of human beings hanging on the Gibbet 
opposite Newgate Prison, and two were women—hung for passing these 
notes. This had such an effect on him that he went home, and in ten 
minutes, he had designed the BANK RESTRICTION Note, “Nort TO BE IMI- 
TATED.” The note being exhibited at one of the Print Shops, it drew such 
a crowd that the police had to be called to disperse it. 

The Bank Directors held a meeting upon the subject, and decided to 
have no more one pound notes issued; and so there was no more hang- 
ing for passing these notes. Eventually, Sir Robert Peel, had passed 
in Parliament, a bill by which there was to be no more minor offences 
punished by death, and so by this little drawing, Cruikshank claims to 
have saved many lives.

In none of the books illustrated by the versatile Cruikshank are the 
plates more faithful to real life than in the above work, a really extraor- 
dinary fact when it is taken into consideration that the whole of his 
French experience was one crowded day spent at Boulogne.

THE FAMOUS CAPTAIN R. J. H. DOUGLAS COPY, IN THE FINEST POSSIBLE 
CONDITION, WITH ALL THH ADVERTISEMENTS. GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE 
THE FINEST KNOWN COPY, AND FROM WHICH THE COLLATION IN DOUGLAS’S 
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF GEORGE CRUIKSHANK WAS MADE. 

Douglas in describing it says: 

“This book in boards, in the first state and in fine condition is per- 
haps the most valuable item in a Cruikshank collection. Having the 
imprimatur of Mr. Ruskin caused attention to be directed to it. The 
etchings are charming. The first volume in pictorial boards, was pub- 
lished in November or December, 1822, as a Christmas Book, with 
the date of the next year, 1823, in advance, on the etched title . 

“Some early copies of the first edition are found with the etched title 
without the two dots over the letter @ in Marchen. . . . The story of 
the Travelling Musicians has: that title only, in the first edition, both 
at the commencement of the story at page 9, and at the head of the 
pages which follow. . . . Page 218 has a list of the plates which is 
absent in the second edition, the page being blank. 

Baldwyn’s advertisement says “On the First of November was pub- 
lished ..4.22 

The second volume has “New Works . . . Published by J. Robins and 
Co. . . .” Six leaves at beginning (Douglas says this only appears in 
early copies) and an advertisement of Longman’s, one leaf at end.

Fairy Tales; the plates being executed in the same charming style.

foot of the title in Cruikshank’s hand, is the following,— 


“ge Alfred Crowquill,

There is also an “xv” in his hand alongside the word “amateur” on the 
printed title which of course means that Alfred Crowquill was the artist 
whose drawings Cruikshank etched for this book. 

“A. C. del.” is found beneath each etching, and “G. Ck. sculp” or 
“etched by G. Ck.”

It is especially difficult to obtain a copy of this book with Plate 2

printed the letters, “O G L D,” being afterwards corrected “G O L D.”

A REMARKABLY FINE AND ABSOLUTELY PERFECT SET, EVEN MORE SO THAN 
IS RECORDED BY CAPTAIN DOUGLAS IN HIS ELABORATE COLLATION. 

The text, edited by Mayhew, was contributed to by a host of humorous 
talent, including Thackeray who enriched the issues of 1839 and 1840 with 
two of the best of his minor writings ‘‘The Fatal Boots,” and “Barber 
Cox’s Diary,’ the 24 etchings for which ‘year are solely devoted 
to illustrating those two Miscellanies. 

This set agrees with Douglas throughout in color of covers, and the 
supply of advertisement leaves, except in one volume, that of 1848; 
which has i6pp. of an advertisement sheet at the back, of which Capt. 
Douglas does not seem to have known.

AUTOGRAPH PRESENTATION COPY FROM THE AUTHOR. 

This sketch was published in London in 1878 the year of Cruik- 
shank’s death. He was therefore over 85 years of age. 

The amount of Cruikshank’s work is almost inconceivable. Some idea 
of the magnitude of his labors may be formed from Bill & Daldy’s 
Catalogue in which mention is made of 5080 separate productions; this 
list published in 1870 does not of course contain his excellent work 
issued later in life. 

When Cruikshank was in his prime, copper was the only material used 
for etching.

This book, entirely unknown to any of the collectors or bibliographers 
of Cruikshank, is not in the British Museum. 

Inserted on the inside of front cover is a card of George Cruikshank 
and on the fly-leaf, a signature of the artist. 

Accompanying the volume is a letter from the British Museum to 
the former owner of the book, in which the expert says that the British 
Museum has no copy, but that the work can be attributed to either 
George or Robert. On comparison with works of both these artists, we 
are of the opinion that both George and Robert worked on the same.

A CRUIKSHANK COLLECTION OF CARICATURES OF IMPORTANCE AND VALUE, 
including A NUMBER OF NAPOLEONIC INTEREST. 

The collection comprises some of his best and rarest humorous and 
satirical productions. Included are 17 of the folding illustrations of 
that rare and much esteemed periodical ‘‘The Scourge;” the entire series 
of his illustrations to the “Satirist,” and both plates of the excessively 
rare and short-lived continuation, ‘‘The Tripod.” The remaining 32 
plates have been chosen not only for excellence of impression and col- 
oring, but as affording a wide view of the wonderful genius of the artist’s 
work, during its early vigor and originality. 

ALL THE PLATES (With two exceptions) ARE IN FIRST STATE, the excep- 
tions being,— 

“Jealousy,” issued by Thos. McLean, Aug. 1, 1835. (First Issue is Knight, 
Noy. 1, 1825.)

ORIGINAL DRAWINGS BY GEORGE CRUIKSHANK 
COMPRISING THE WORLD-FAMOUS GOUGH COLLECTION 


(No. 171, Vol. 25, in the Borden Catalogue) 


This collection contains some of the finest productions from the 
pen and pencil of this renowned artist, as well as outline drawings 
of his original conception for some of the more noteworthy etchings 
appearing in his important published works, and includes some 
apparently unpublished subjects. 

P With the exception of about twelve sketches, they are all SIGNED BY THE 
ARTIST, WHILE MANY CONTAIN THE TITLES OF THE SUBJECTS, WITH COM- 
MENTS AND OTHER REMARKS IN CRUIKSHANK’S CHARACTERISTIC STYLE AND 
AUTOGRAPH. 

On account of the great importance of these sketches, comprising as 
they do, the most NOTEWORTHY COLLECTION OF ITS KIND EVER OFFERED, 
EITHER AT PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SALE IN AMERICA, it has been thought ad- 
visable, in order to give to the numerous Collectors and admirers of 
the art of Cruikshank, an opportunity of procuring one or more unique 
specimens of this artist’s original work, to break the volume up, and 
offer the various drawings as separate items. 

The following items, Numbers 249 to 385 inclusive, are therefore those 

sé sketches originally bound in the above-mentioned volume.

AUTOGRAPH LETTERS BY GEORGE CRUIKSHANK 


CRUIKSHANK—GouGH CORRESPONDENCE, comprising those letters sent by 
Cruikshank to John Bartholomew Gough, the great temperance lec- 
turer of America, which were formerly in the latter’s Wortp RE- 
NOWNED collection, and which formed part of Vol. 25 of Number 
171 in the Borden Catalogue. 


These letters comprise without doubt the most important collection 
of its kind ever offered at public sale in America. They are all of 
unusual length, and contain a vast amount of interesting and important 
information relative to the artist’s works, especially his famous painting, 
“Worship of Bacchus; also notices of his work for the temperance cause 

} A in England, and his friend’s labors for the same in America, and the 
latter’s endeavors regarding a “Testimonial” to Cruikshank by his friends 
in America. 

The American interest is of unusual importance; but few letters by 
Cruikshank, outside the present collection, are extant, which reveal to 
so great an extent his own sentiments regarding his “Brothers” in Amer- 
ica, and affairs connected with his own private life. 

Regarding the artist’s painting,—“Worship of Bacchus,” which is men-

tioned very freely throughout the letters, the Dictionary of National 
Biography states,—‘But his magnum opus in one sense, for it measures 
7 feet 8 inches high by 13 feet 3 inches wide, is the huge cartoon crowded 
with groups and figures which he produced in 1862. . . . This, a work of 
inexhaustible detail and invention. . . . was intended to be his formal 
and final protest against intemperance. The original oil painting is in 
the National Gallery.” 

It has been thought advisable on account of the great importance of 
the contents of these letters to quote in full, rather than to give garbled 
extracts of the same. 

THE FOLLOWING NUMBERS, 386 TO 399 INCLUSIVE, COMPRISE THOSE LET- 
TERS FORMERLY IN THE ABOVE-MENTIONED VOLUME.

you everywhere & every attention We got home—I am thankful to say—

“My Dear Gough— 

. . Having now something particular to write about I have been 
going to write a long letter to you—for the last fortnight—but I now 
feel that if I wait until I can find time to write a long letter—I shall 
not write atall so here goes—for a short one—and the long and the short 
of the matter is this, my big picture of “the Worship of Bacchus”—13 
ft. 4. by 7 ft. 8. has been for the last two years traveling about in this 
country and Tweedie suggest that it should now be sent on its travels 
abroad—and with respect to this I want your advice and assistance. 

A very respectable man of the name of Mace—has been exhibiting € 
explaining the picture—but I do not know whether he would like to 
travel to America with it—and if he declines to do so—could you 
take charge of it and arrange with some that you could depend upon— 
is exhibit and explain it—and also to sell the Prints—in the United 

tates? 

I know that I need only add that the exhibition of the picture & the 
sale of the prints are for my benefit, to ensure your kind advice and 
assistance—for yours very truly 

GEORGE CRUIKSHANK.”’ 

ae y wife unites with me in Kindest regard to Mrs. Gough—and your- 
self. 

2! would willingly give more than a trifle to hear you describe my 
picture—and I hope it will not be long before I hear your voice again—on 
this side the Atlantic.

“My dear friend J. B. Gough. 

One reason for my not replying to uour letter was, that I have been 
told from time to time, that you were coming over to your native land 
again—and another reason was, because—month after month— 
we have been trying to get my large picture of “the Worship of 
Bacchus” over to America—but without success-—so that what with 
the heavy ‘duty’—the ‘Insurance’ & the difficulty of getting any one, to 
take charge of the picture & the prints-—my picture of ‘The Worship of 
Bacchus’ will never be exhibited in the ‘United States’—this I am sorry for 
—and I know you will be sorry to know that, in a pecuniary point of view 
—the exhibition of the engravings has been a failure in this country—and 
you will also be sorry to know, that in consequence of the ‘Monetary Panic’ 
in this country—and the failure of some of our wealthy Temperance friends 
—about £2000. debt has been thrown upon my shoulders! poor Sam-l 
Gurney lost about a million & a half of money—! all his ‘Goods & 
Chattles’. were sold by auction—and as he had my drawing of this 
‘Worship of Bacchus’—(Which you will remember seeing at my house) 
I was obliged to go & bring this drawing back—as the ‘copyright’ went 
with the drawing. I shall always rejoice that I have been a stern advo- 
cate of the Temperance cause—but it is a curious fact that my taking 
up this cause—has cost me in one way & another—in about 22 years 
£10,000—! Hverything I have published upon this question has been a 
loss—and people that used to employ me as an artist ceased to do so— 
as they supposed all my talent was gone—because I abstained from 
Wine—Beer Spirits € Tobacco! ! ! !—I am going to publish some of these 
facts—é& you shall have a copy of the work when ready and now my 
dear friend I am going to ask you a favor—In the first place I am 
happy to say. my dear wife & I, have a small independence—which 
nothing can alter whilst we are alive—but it so happens that to secure 
a property worth £2000. 1 require just at this moment about 5 or 6 
hundred pounds—for 12 or 18 months—and my reason for asking you 
if you could do me the great favor of lending me that sum for about that 
time, is because all my friends have been—by the ‘Panic’—either entirely 
ruined, or so crippled, that they hardly know how to get on—England 
never was in such a state as she is at present and all through heedless 
speculations or unprincipaled—rascality—one of my friends who would 
have lent me what I want—in a minute—had £15000 a year—é& now 
he has not one farthing! and he & his wife go & stay with one friend and 
then with another,—or they would have to go to the Parish. 

I know my dear boy your sincere friendship towards me & that you will 
lend me this help if you can—é if you should send the whole or a part 
over to me I will give you my note of hand to hold for a given time— 
and I know that you will rely upon my honor for the amount to be 
returned in due course—I was much pleased with the part of your 
letter which has been published in ‘The Record’—It is a first rate 
policy not to have all Teetotal Lectures—é& I feel convinced that you 
will serve the cause greatly by this means for you will get people to come 
& hear you, upon other subjects, that would not attend anything Tee- 
total & with your wonderful power of words you may put a word in— 
that these anti teetotal people—will never forget or get rid of. My Wife 
joins with me in the Kindest remembrances to your wife, & yourself and 
trusting that you are both in good health—as I am glad say we both are— 
I am my dear friend yours very, very truly 

May God bless you both. 

GEORGE CRUIKSHANK.”’

“Dear Friend— 

Having lately made the acquaintance of Mr. I. W- Bouton—and who 
I believes leaves ‘old England’ tomorrow to return to ‘New York’—I take 
the opportunity of sending this note and two circulars—respecting ‘The 
Worship of Bacchus’. and shall be glad if you, and any of your total 
abstaining friends can do anything to help me out of the mess that 
the picture committee have left me in— 

My wife joins with me in Kindest regards to your dear wife and 
yourself—and trusting that you are both in the enjoyment of good 
health as I am happy to say that we both are— 

I remain Dear friend

Very sorry to find that you have been unwell, and my sincere prayer 
is that you may soon be restored to perfect health— . 


I am not surprised at the kind & brotherly feeling expressed & proved, 


by your letter of the 2nd. inst. but am indeed greatly surprised at this 
most unexpected, but extremely Kind proposal of a testimonial— 

I knew that my name was Known in America—but I had no idea 
that there existed in the ‘United States’ such a friendly feeling towards 
the old artist--which feeling however I very highly estimate—If this 
kind favor should be conferred, I beg to suggest that it be as a Tes- 
timonial to GC—who has been working against strong drink—with 
Pencil—Pen & voice—for upwards of sixty years—being now in my 80th 
year—and working as hard as ever in the great & good cause of Total 
abstinence—and I am glad to tell you that those in this country who 
take strong drink, are beginning to think—and are going to try to 
stop drunkenness by altering the Licensing System—many of our worthy 
Bishops are now working in that direction—and I only wish they could 
hear some of your powerful arguments—and to point out to them the 
right road— 

My wife joins with me in Kindest regards in best wishes towards your 
dear wife and yourself and I am my dear friend yours very truly 

GEORGE CRUIKSHANK.”’

Dear Friend & Brother— 

To use the old English style of letter writing—‘This comes hoping 
to find’—you and your dear wife, both quite well, as I am happy to say 
that my dear wife & I are—although we have had very trying weather 
here, almost constant Rain—then colds, then warm, more like a wet 

y spring than a winter—but the winter set in yesterday in right earnest— 
A, ¢ with a very stormy cold wind & a heavy fall of snow, so much so, that 
H yesterday—our Road was quite impassable for either Omnibus or Tram- 
way car,—and as to to your part of the world I was indeed distressed 

to read the sad effects of the severe frost—sad—sad indeed— 

I am working as hard as ever in the good cause—generally presiding— 
é& sometimes as as Speaker—and your name as the great leader is con- 
stantly being brought forward, and you will be interested to know that 
there is a young man, of the name of Noble—who learns your orations 
by heart and repeats them with great success I was asked to preside 
at one of these Repetitions—but being engaged on that evening I shall 
have to do so upon another occasion—He was at a meeting one evg. where 
I was presiding & in consequence of some remarks that I made agt 
smoking—he then & there disclosed that he and a noble young man he 
is—would leave it off & by doing so he said his wife would be highly 
pleased. 

I am publishing two photo prints—one the ‘First appearance of W. 
Shakespeare on the stage of the Globe’, & the other entitled ‘Mothers 
Love-—é& I want you to tell me if I present a copy of each to you, if I 
had better send them direct to your residence, or through the hands of 
Bouton the Bookseller to whom I am going to send some for him to 
sell, to our American Brothers— 

By this time you of course have heard of that dreadful affair of the 
Spanish steamer causing the loss of so many lives im the English ship 
the ‘Northfleet’—I believe that intoxicating liquor was the cause of 
this for we find here that Spanish sailors get drunk—as well as the 
sailors of other nations— 

I feel my dear friend as if I could go on writing to you for hours 
but as it is now nearly half past one in the morning I must wish you 
good night—and in doing so give united best wishes & regards of my 
dear wife & myself to your dear wife and to your self, & subscribe myself

curred nearly seven years back, mention is also made in this paragraph, 
respecting pensions, and this statement, altogether, has led .many to 
suppose that IT have a good sum of money in hand from these sources, 
but as this is not the case. I shall esteem it a favour if you will allow 
me to inform the public through the mediwm of your paper, that previous 
to the Testimonial being started, a ‘party’ who proposed to establish an 
insurance society for the working classes—and who induced me to join 
in the prospect, committed a Forgery—by which I lost, what was to 
me a considerable sum of money—and from that time up to the present, 
in some efforts to serve my fellow creatures I have sustained losses 
amounting to upwards of £38000—so that unfortunately for me the 
balance is on the wrong side—é it will therefore be a long time before 
the pensions will cover my losses. I however take this opportunity of

“Dear John B. Gough 

Friend and Brother 
The first words I have to write, are to express a sincere hope that 
you and your dear. good wife, are in the enjoyment of good health, which 
I am happy to say my dear good wife is blessed with—I am myself a 
wonderful example of good health, generally, but lately I have had an 
attack of Influenza, a very strange sort of affection from which a large 
number of people have been suffering here and supposed to have been 
produced by most extraordinary changes in the weather—The symptoms 
are occasional depression—Three of my medical friends have suffered

severely from it—and although I have not been able to go on with 
my work in my usual constant & regular way, yet it has not Kept me 
im doors for an hour, & I have attended the meetings (the Teetotal meet- 
ings) as usual. 

And now my dear Friend, sorry am I to trouble you with my own 
affairs—but you kindly promised to try & get some of American 
Teetotal Brothers to do something for me—and I have been most an- 
xiously waiting in expectation of hearing from you upon the subject— 
and such is my state of mind at this moment, that if it be possible to let 
me know if any thing has been done in this matter, by return of Post, 
it will indeed be a great favour— 

I had thought that long before this I should have the pleasure to 
send you a couple of Prints—taken from two pictures of mine but the 
‘Autographe compy’—or permanent photographers have sadly disap- 
pointed me for after waiting for two years they have failed to produce 


what was required & I have therefore to go elsewhere—é& I hope in 


another month or two to send the prints—which I very much wish you 
to see & for a most particular reason. 

Once more dear friend trusting that you and your dear wife are 
both well & with our united & Kindest regards I am your truly 

GEO. CRUIKSHANK.” 

“f forgot to tell you that I seem to be entirely recovering from that 
attack of Influenza & with the blessing of the Almighty regaining my 
usual & remarkable strength but it is curious that all the time I 
have had it every one has said how well I looked— 

Write to me soon about your hands—é& I know you will give me your 
helping hand as soon as it is possible—In a short time I shall write out 
the full explanation about Mr. Bacchus.”

e 
Me, 


“My Dear & worthy Friend, 

John B. Gough— 

I am glad to find that the health of your dear wife is better, & 
trust that she may soon get well—also glad to know that you are well, 
but regret that you should have that affection in the hands, and in the 
hope of being able to be of some service to you, I suggest that you 
write out a clear statement of the case,—which I will hand to my friend 
Hrasmus Wilson—who is Known as the first Medical man in ‘Europe’ 
in all such cases—and he may perhaps prescribe something that will 
effect a cure. 

My wife & I were staying at Margate for a week—where I got your 
Kind letter of the 19th inst. whilst there I met, by chance—an Amer- 
ican Genln who is an Engineer & total abstainer—dé who said he knew 
you—so we had a long chat about ‘J. B. Gough’—his name is ‘Martin 
Benson’ —and last Sunday evening at a friends house I met another 
native of the United States, and had a chat with him, about you & your 
lectures—many of which he had listened to with interest. He is a minister 
of the Gospel—é a thorough going ‘total abstainer’—his name is the 
Rev. Edwin C. Sweetser—of New York.— 

With respect to these terrible fires in the States, it really seems to me 
as if it were the work of some insane incendiary—we have many fires 
in London—but we have ‘party walls’ which separate each house—é& 
the fires do not often spread beyond the premises where the fire began— 
but some times lives are lost & this is caused by the drink—in almost 
every instance—& by fellows throwing their burning matches about 
after lighting their pipes & womens dresses are often set on fire in this 
way—dé one poor woman was very nearly burnt to death the other day 
near our house by a match thrown down in this careless manner.

I had thought that before this I should have been able to send you 
copies of some prints which I had hoped would have been produced by 
a new style of photography—but after a great deal of labour & loss of 
time & money—for about 4 years the matter turns out to be an entire 
failure This is a sad disappointment—but I am sorry to tell you not 
the only one—for after going on with a work for nearly two years a

“Dear Friend & Brother 

J. B. Gough— 

This comes hoping to find you & your dear wife in good health— 
as I may say, it leaves my good wife & I at present. 

IT am at the request of some friends, Republishing some of my early 
works, the first one being ‘Phrenological Illustrations’ done nearly 50 
years back—eé a copy of which I have asked Mr. Bouton to forward to 
you— 


IT am sending some copies to him to see if he can sell them to our 


American Brothers.— : : 

I do not wish to put you to the trouble of writing—but never the 
less, I should be glad to have even a line from you—eé& know from you, 
how the cause is progressing in the United States. we are here cer- 
tainly making progress—but slowly—the fact is we want a J. B. Gough, 
but much as I should like to see him & his ‘better half’? I would not on 
any account have him run the risk & have all the trouble of crossing the 
Atlantic again. 

So my God bless you both in your happy settled Home and with every 
wish for the health & happiness of you both & with our united & kindest 
regards I am dear friend yours truly : . :

fate to. meet with them constantly, for it so happens, that for. four

in Photography—but after many attempts the party who had them in 


hand, failed altogether in the process! so there is all my time and money 


gone !— 

I had expected also to have had the pleasure of hearing from you 
but when that Panic occurred I saw at once that there was not any 
chance of your being able to carry out what you suggested—so I compared 
myself to.a poor Boatman whose boat had been knocked about a good 
deal, & wanted repairing—and a friend on the other side of a river had 
promised to get him some brass nails—so the boatman Kept on doing 
the best he could to get his craft in good sailing order—but anxiously 
looking all the while across the River for his friend whose boat he 
expected to see coming across every day & when he saw it in the distance 
a most violent storm arose & he saw his friends boat stuck fast on a

also were disappointed

“Dear John B. Gough— 
Friend & Brother, 

When Mr. Bouton, of New York, was over here lately, I was indeed 
' glad to hear from him, that you had quite recovered from your late 
illness, and I trust that you & your dear wife are both quite well, as I 

am happy to say my dear wife & I are— 
I suppose you have heard of poor Tweedie being now most seriously 
ill He is suffering from cancer in the upper and middle part of the 
thigh, & which for a long long time hé did not attend to, or have any 
advice upon, until it was too late to perform an operation which might 
7, have saved his life—but it has now extended up past the groin—and 

co there is now no hope—in fact, he is poor fellow sinking fast— 

4) Ever since I discovered that I was to be such a serious loser by the 
ye bad management of John Taylor & Tweedie—in ‘The worship of Bacchus’ 
affair and in consequence. of the way they both treated me I have never 
spoken to either of them—but finding that my old & esteemed friend 
Tweedie was in a dangerous state, of course I forgave him—and constantly 
called in the Strand to enquire about his health, & in case an operation 
was to be performed recommended a first class man to assist, and I 
fully expected that all this would have been reported to Mr. Tweedie & 
that he would have desired to see me, but as I was not invited to eall, 
and as I found he was on his death bed—I determined to go & see him 
if he wished for the interview so I went to his house the day before 
yesterday, & he was glad to see me and wished that I had called before 
—I gave him my hand & my best wishes but it was a sad meeting & a 
sad parting—poor fellow! his voice is quite gone & he can only whisper. 
Mrs. Tweedie had to stoop down to the pillow to hear his whisper—

which she conveyed to me—The interview was short—and I left him 
—_with a sad heart—perhaps never to see him alive again— 

Poor dear Mrs. Tweedie and her two daughters are nursing him with 
the greatest care & attention; but it is a sad sad thing for his dear 
good wife & his dear children. 

My wife joins with me in Kindest regards to your wife & yourself 
and hoping soon to hear from you I am yours truly 

GEO. CRUIKSHANK.”

“Dear Friend John B. Gough— 


When I look at the date of your letter & find it to be ‘Nov 27, 1874’— — 


I can hardly believe that I have delayed writing an answer for so long a 
time—but the fact is, we have had here a most severe & trying winter, 
and many of our friends have not only been suffering from illness, but 
many of our most intimate & dearest friends have passed away—these 
sad events & having had to work hard in.the great cause by attending 
& presiding at meetings & having to attend to other peoples affairs, 
as well as my own, has so occupied my time, that I have hardly had a 
minute to myself, but now having the opportunity, the first thing I 
do is to express the great delight of my dear wife & myself to find 
that your dear wife is restored to health & that you are quite well— 
as I am happy to say, my wife & I are—we have been so far in the 


fashion of the season, as to have a little ‘cold’ now & then—but I am ° 


indeed thankful to say that we have never been laid up for a day. 

With respect to the proposed Testimonial from our American Brothers 
—I should have felt it a very great compliment, but I can well under- 
stand the difficulty of carrying out such an object—particularly from 
what you state—so do not my dear friend give yourself & your friends 
any more trouble about the matter—had it been a general affair I would 
have had a printed form of thanks to send to each subscriber but I 
can only now beg of you when you see those Kind friends who have 
subscribed to give them my best thanks—and I shall keep the list of 
their names as a treasure. 

When that dreadful fire took place I at once saw that it was one 
of those unfortunate events that called for the Sympathy and as- 
sistance of the Nation, & of course never expected that a people however 
Kind generous could spare any thing the Testimonial. 

In our drawing room, there is an arm chair—always near the window— 
and in which chair you sat with your dear wife by your side—when we 
jirst had the pleasure of seeing you both and I tell visitors (pointing to 
theses pieces of furniture) ‘That is J. B. Gough’s chair & that is Mrs. 
Gough's’ where we shall be pleased indeed to see you both seated again— 
and make our house your home.— 

With respect to poor Tweedie—he behaved in an extraordinary manner 
towards—he & John Taylor causing a most serious loss—but findg that 
he was dying I of course forgave him & went & saw him on his death 
bed, & with which visit, poor fellow, he was much pleased—He was a 
man so much respected that people would not believe what I complained 
of but now that he is gone it turns out that I am not the only one who 
has had losses & some think that he could have hardly been in his 
right timd to have.acted as he did—one of his best friends lent him 
about £2000 which you may be said is all gone—for the debts amount 
to £13,000 ¢& there is only tenpence in the pound to meet them. This 
ended all very sad—and pains me exceedingly when I think of the poor 
widow & the children— 


My wife unites with me in best wishes & regards to your dear wife

& yourself and as she attends to all matters about proofs and sketches— 
she desires me to say that she will attend to your wishes after the 
10th of March—and now trusting with the Ddlessing of the Almighty 
we may all enjoy health & a long life I am dear friend yours truly 
GEO. CRUIKSHANK.” 
“P. S. In the work I am preparing for publication—(but which will 
° not be ready wntil the end of the year) I shall be able to prove that 
L have lost about 12 or 14 Thousand pounds by being a Teetotaller— !—but 
I hope to get over that in time—but these loses with others too long 
to explain have so crippled me that I am compelled to ask friends to 
assist me—and as I suppose those dreadful & most destructive fires in the 
states have prevented you from carrying out your kind intention towards 
me—I venture to ask if you can help me with a loan—of a hundred or 
two—which I would undertake to return at the end of this year—What 
you have done already was most important & for which I cannot suf- 
ficiently thank you—An early answer will oblige as I am in a regular 
fix just now.”

Formerly many Cruikshank experts considered the work in these

The above is the famous Edward Truman set, and has an association 
value of interest, as follows,— 

Truman was a personal friend of the artist, and deciding to settle 
the question brought the plates to him, the result being, that on the first 
plate of the volume, GEORGE CRUIKSHANK has written the words “Nor 
ANY OF IT BY ME—G. CK.”

IN ADDITION IT CONTAINS THE ALMOST UNKNOWN SLIP IN Part 2: “Dr. 
Syntax in London.” . .. “On the 1st of May will be published, No. 1. of 
a New Volume of The New Bon-Ton Magazine,” etc. The slip, dated 
May, 1819, regarding the indisposition of one of the artists, does not 
appear. 

The work is entirely anonymous, both author and illustrator (or illus- 
trators), not being definitely known. Mr. Jaggard in his Index to 
Book-Prices Current, gives Isaac Robert Cruikshank as the illustrator, 
and William Combe, as the author. Some collectors and experts declare 
that the plates are by THomaAsS ROWLANDSON, and assert this with such 
certainty that they bind the book, and on the back have printed the 
words “Illustrated by T. Rowlandson.” 

After careful comparison of the work of the two artists,—Robert 
Cruikshank and Thomas Rowlandson, we are of the opinion that Mr. 
Jaggard is right in his contention that the illustrator is Robert Cruik- 
shank, the contention being based on the work executed by Cruikshank 
for Egan’s “Finish to Life in London,” although this work was not 
published until ten years later (1830). Undoubtedly however Rowlandson 
influence is seen in the reproduction of the portraits of the familiar 
it Byniaa.” 

That more than one artist illustrated the work is evidenced by the 
fact that there was issued by the publisher a slip announcing the indispo- 
sition of one of the artists.

OF THE GREATEST RARITY. These plates are sometimes attributed by col- 
lectors to be the work of WiLLIAM HeEatH, but the majority of experts 
place them to the credit of RoperT CRUIKSHANK. Portraits of both Robert 
Cruikshank and Pierce Egan appear among the characters throughout 
the work. 

These plates were published during the time when the interest in 
LIFE IN LONDON was at its height, and they form an extra series of plates 
to this famous book. Originally they appeared separately in oblong 
octavo style; but they have been most attractively and ingeniously inlaid 
in panorama style and placed in a red levant protecting case with plate 
glass top. The case has lock and key, and the plate can be easily seen 
in panoramic style by the motion to right or left as the case may be, 
of two small wooden handles.

[ No. 425—Continued | 
First Editions of Charles Dickens, after a careful examination of the 
copy, penned the late Mr. Samuel Henry Austin the following autograph 
letter, which accompanies the copy. 
“July 31st, 1914.” 
“Mr. S. H. Austin, 
Philadelphia, Pa. 
Dear Sir: 

It was my privilege some time since to carefully examine the Douglas 
Copy of “Pickwick” which, I am informed, is at present in your pos- 
session. Without any desire of obtruding any superior knowledge of 
the book in question, I wish to say that it is the finest and most perfect 
copy of an original issue it has ever been my fortune to handle, as it is 
also the best copy I have ever heard of. 

In attempting to describe a complete first issue of “Pickwick” im 
my Bibliography, I had recourse to the Lapham Copy, and a copy owned 
by a noted Collector in Glasgow. In my opinion, the Douglas copy far 
excels either in brilliancy and “points.” The absence of the figure “17” 
in the Albemarle street address in Part IV surely stamps it as an earlier 
issue than the two I have mentioned. In addition, there are other ad- 
vertisements which are unknown in the copies to which I have alluded. 

After an investigation, I am forced to revise my description of Part 
I as it relates to the plates. I am satisfied that the original plates bore 
signatures and that these hairlines wore off as the printing proceeded. 
It was the later issues upon which the error was based that the plates 
were unsigned. p 

In short, I am free to say that the Douglas copy is unmatched in the 
world so far as I know. 

Trusting that you will understand the spirit which prompts this letter, 
I beg leave to remain, 

Very sincerely 
JOHN C. ECKEL.” 

THE FOLLOWING “POINTS” REGARDING WRAPPERS AND ADVERTISEMENTS, 

DESCRIBE THE COPY: 


PART I. has the excessively rare advertisement of “New Works published 
by Chapman & Hall” (4 leaves), the first in the list being “The Gar- 
land of Love,” the last “The Library of Fiction;” the reverse of the 
pace wrapper announces the publication of No. 1 of “The Library of 

iction.” 


PART II. has the rare printed “Address” announcing the death of 
Seymour. The outside back cover advertises No. II of “The Library 
of Fiction.” . 


PART III. has on the wrapper, “With illustrations by R. W. Buss.” 
Inside the front wrapper is an advertisement (4pp.) advertising 
“Sunday under Three Heads.” Following the two plates is the “Ad- 
dress” announcing the engagement of Buss as illustrator. After the 
letterpress is the advertisement of two leaves headed “The Toilet,” 
advertising Rowland & Sons’ Toilet Preparations, and of which only 
one other copy is known. Outside back wrapper advertises No. III. 
of “The Library of Fiction.” 

PART IV. The inside of the front and back wrappers gives a list of 
new works published by Chapman & Hall, “Sunday under Three 
Heads” being the first; “The Pickwick Advertiser” (2 leaves) ; out- 
side of back wrapper advertising “The Library of Fiction” to be 
continued monthly, but not giving the particular number of same. 

PART V. has four leaves of advertisements, and also the very rare 
folded advertisement of Rowland’s Preparations, with a woodcut 
of a black woman. Outside back wrapper advertises No. V. of “The 
Library of Fiction.”

“Collectors under whose observations have come copies with the list 
of illustrations (there is no list in the present copy following the title- 
page) will be justified in a protest against the elimination of this feature 
from the collation. This was done because experts now agree that the 
list was an interpolation on the part of Dickens suggested by the utter 
absence of Cruikshank’s name on any part of the book. . . . With and 
without the list both are genuine first issues.”—JOHN C. ECKEL. ;

discovered and for which he ordered “sister” substituted in later edi- 
tions; the plate “Nicholas makes his first Visit to the lodgings of Mr.

Mr. Bray.” omitting “the lodgings of ;’”’ Part XIV. contains the rare notice 
with regard to the postponement of the plates, generally missing. 

ADDITIONAL INTEREST ATTACHES TO THIS COPY, AS IT IS ACCOMPANIED BY 
THE EXCESSIVELY RARE “PROCLAMATION,” STATING: ‘Whereas we are the 
only true and lawful ‘Boz.’ And Whereas it hath been reported to us, 
who are commencing a New Work, to be called—The Life and Adventures 
of Nicholas Nichleby, That some dishonest dullards, resident in the by- 
streets and cellars of this town. impose upon the unwary and credulous 
by producing cheap and wretched imitations of our delectable Works. 

. This is to give Notice. Firstly, To Pirates, . . . Secondly, To the 
Public, . . . Thirdly, To the Potentates of Paternoster-Row,” ete. 
Signed “Boz,” pp. 4. 

The “Proclamation” has a twofold purpose; ie, to advertise “Nicho- 
las Nickelby ;” and to enter a protest and warning to the literary pirates, 
who jealous of the success of Dickens wrote numerous articles, pub- 
lishing them under similar names, with the intent to deceive the Public 
into believing that they were written by Boz.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT COPIES EVER OFFERED FOR SALE, BEING AC- 
COMPANIED BY SEVEN OF THE ORIGINAL DRAWINGS IN PEN-AND-INK AND 
SEPIA, BY HABLOT KNIGHT BROWNE (“Phiz’’?). The drawings, all of which 
are signed either with the artist’s initials or ‘““Phiz,” ARE FINELY EXECUTED 
AND FINISHED, two being with titles in the artist’s autograph. They are 
inlaid to size and laid in the parts facing the illustrations, as follows,—

IST’S DAUGHTER. ‘They include such world famous characters as “Little 
Nell and her Grandfather,” and “Dolly Varden.”

important. On it, is an advertisement of “written Caricatures” by John 
Leech; the vignettes illustrating this advertisement are by John Leech.

script to a letter to his friend Macready—‘Fourth edition of ‘Great 
Expectations almost gone!” 

This work is one of Dickens’ best novels; the circulating libraries, fore- 
Seeing the demand for it, bought up almost the entire first edition, so 
that there were very few copies of this issue that found their way into 
private hands. Those used by the libraries, were of course mostly 
destroyed, by constant handling, thus rendering the First Epirion of this 
book extremely scarce. 

Most existing copies of this book, frequently but wrongly called First 
Editions, have the catalogue in the back bearing the date of August, 1861, 
instead of May, 1861. THIS coPY HAS THE MAY ADVERTISEMENT, A 
BETTER COPY OF THE GENUINE First EDITION IN MORE PERFECT CONDI-

This play was written in 1856 by Wilkie Collins, and was produced 


by Dickens and his Players at Dickens’ house on January 6, 1857. It has 
never been published, and differs widely from the story which appeared 
in 1874. 


In the course of preparation, Dickens changed it to such a great extent 
that it may be said to be almost entirely by him. 

In 1866, the Drama was produced at the Olympic Theatre, London.

Franklin wrote the Preface and in it he says that he has printed the 
book, “in a large and fair Character, that those who begin to think on the 
subject of Old Age (which seldom happens till their Sight is somewhat 
impair’d by it’s Approaches) may not, in Reading, by the Pain small 
Letters give the Hyes, feel the Pleasure of the Mind in the least allayed.”

In conclusion he says, “I shall add to these few Lines my hearty Wish, 
that this first Translation of a Classic, in this Western World, may be 
followed with many others, performed with equal Judgment and Success, 
and be a happy Omen, that Philadelphia shall become the Seat of the 
American Muses.” 
The translation was made in 1734 by Chief Justic James Logan.

Napoleon, represented as “The great French Ginger-bread Maker,” is 
drawing out of “The New French Oven for Imperial] Gingerbread,” a batch 
of Kings—“The Kings of Bavaria, Wirtemberg and Baden.” Among the 
persons standing by are Sheridan, Fox, Lord Moira, and others, with 
crowns on their heads. It is generally considered to be the most caustic - 
satire on the wanton manner in which Napoleon displayed his despotic 
power about this period.

in France in the XV Century, written in red and black, adorned by 
a coat-of-arms and TWENTY-SEVEN LARGE AND BEAUTIFUL MINIA- 
TURES IN GOLD AND COLORS, many fine borders, and initial letters. 
158 leaves, 12 of which are for the calendar. 8vo, olive morocco, 
broad ornamental borders, richly ornamented back, old rose silk- 
linings, gilt edges, by DEROME LE JEUNE, WITH HIS LABEL. In a 
brown morocco case. Sec. XV. 


A VERY BEAUTIFUL MANUSCRIPT, accompanied by a very interesting old 
book-mark of silk ribbon, with gold braid decorations, a very unusual 
specimen. The miniatures represent,—(1) St. John, the Evangelist; (2) 
St. Luke; (3) St. Mathew; (4) St. Mark; (5) The Descent from the 
Cross; (6) The Angelic Salutation; (7) The Visitation; (8) Calvary; (9) 
Pentecost; (10) The Stable at Bethlehem; (11) The Annunciation to the 
Shepherds; (12) The Adoration of the Magi; (13) The Presentation at 
the Temple; (14) The Ascension of the Virgin; God and two angels (in 
greyish tones) ; (15) The Crowning of the Virgin; (16) King David and 
Beelzebub; (17) Job Sorrowing; (18) The Holy Trinity; (19) St. Michael 
Killing the Dragon; (20) The Beheading of St. John, the Baptist; (21) 
St. Peter and St. Paul; (22) St. Martin and the Beggars; (23) The Mar- 
tyrdom of St. Andrew; (24) The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian; (25) A 
Lady at prayer in front of St. Agnes; (26) Christ as.a gardiner, and 
Mary Magdalene; (27) St. Catherine. 

These miniatures are by a clever artist belonging most probably to the 
school of Bourges, and are for the most part finished off by beautifully 
executed landscapes. Nearly all the papers have ornamental borders 
composed of flower and leaf motives and lifelike figures of dwarfs and 
fantastic animals. 

The French Calendar executed in red and blue. 

Above the Angelic Salutation is formed the coat-of-arms of the previous 
owner held up by two angels, and composed of three “fasces de gueule 
sur or.” Before the Calendar, painted on a white leaflet is the same coat- 
of-arms held up by two griffins and crowned by a nine-prong crown. 
This painting is the size of the page and was executed by B. Mecoulle 
in 1682. 

This manuscript was ordered executed for a lady whose portrait is 
found in the painting, representing a lady kneeling in front of St. Agnes, 
which proves conclusively that the lady’s first name was Agnes. 

This manuscript was obtained from Joseph Baer & Co. of Frankfort, 
Germany. whose note of November 15, 1912, reads ——“This manuscript 
is absolutely complete and in perfect condition.”

MANNER OF THE FAMOUS CALIGRAPHER, DE JARRY. They are enriched 
with gold; the small miniatures above the calendar (which will be found 
toward the front of the book) are specially noteworthy for their true 
representation of the costumes of the day and of the rural sports and 
occupations. 

The other miniatures and gravures are Biblical subjects of much 
interest. The two representing the Last Judgment are especially inter- 
esting and curious. 

This manuscript was made for the Duc de Lorraine by one who was 
especially titled to do this work. In the front of the Prayer book will 
be found an illuminated illustration of the Lorraine Arms, with three 
stars the central feature, and above the whole design the devise, or 
motto “Stella duce,” which might be literally translated, “With the Star 
for Guide.” 


522. Horn-Boox. A HORN BOOK OF OAK, WITH ORIGINAL COVERING OF 


LEATHER: Containing, The criss-cross capital “A;” small alphabet 
(no j but two s’s); Vowels; Large alphabet (no J or V); Sylla- 
barium; Invocation; Lord’s Prayer. The leather covered back is 
stamped with a device of “St. George and the Dragon.” 

‘ Circa 1560 


Tuis Horn-Book IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST EXAMPLES EXTANT. In 1877, it 
was one of four exhibited at the CAxToN EXHIBITION, In the catalogue 
of this exhibition, the date was given as the time of King James the 
First (1566-1625) ; but Andrew W. Tuer, F.S.A., who wrote a History of 
the Horn-Book, states that he thinks this specimen is still earlier. We 
can therefore, with certainty, place the date of the present example 
as circa 1560. 

Tuer reproduced this Horn-Book in full size in the second volume of 
his Work on Horn-Books, and describes it fully as follows.— . 

“A brown leather covered black-letter Horn-Book (reproduced full size) 
in the Collection of Sir John Evans, K.C.B. The leather has entirely 
disappeared from the handle, which is pierced for the insertion of a 
string for suspending the Horn-Book from the Girdle. : 

“On the back, is lightly stamped, the device of St. George and the Dragon. 
In the catalogue of the Caxton Exhibition 1877, where it was exhibited, 
this Horn-Book is assigned to the time of James I, but I see no reason 
why it should not be earlier.”—Vol. II, page 137. 

Horn-Books were generally used toward the end of the 16th Century. 
The meaning of the actual term ‘Horn-Book,” came to be any early 
primer. Some of the later Horn-Books were made of cardboard and 
heavy paper, and there are interesting accounts of Horn-Books being 
made on ginger-bread. 

At the decline of the Horn-Book, it was treated with contempt, and the 
cry went about, “Destroy and forget,” and everyone destroyed and forgot. 
Manufacturers destroyed them by the gross, and those that were in 
private possession were treated as so much waste. 

Tuer endeavored with the aid of the Press to unearth 150 specimens of 
the Horn-Book, and interesting accounts are given telling how some of 
these were found; one being discovered under a Church Pew, where it 
had probably lain for decades; another, found in a wall, where it may 
have been hidden by some dilatory child.

v Most beautifully and appropriately preserved from injury, in a blind 
tooled mottled calf case of contemporary design, made in the form 
of a book. The interior is lined with a rich green velvet, in which 
the horn book is imbedded. 
The original Horn-Book consisted of a printed or written paper, fastened 
on a board of oak, and covered with a thin sheet of Horn for protection. 
The “Horn,” however, very frequently became torn and water-soaked, 
thus loosening the paper, and sometimes, making the reading matter very 
indistinct and unreadable. The brass was more durable. 
Thus, we see the evolution of the Brass Horn-Book, still retaining the 


name ‘“Horn-Book,” because that word came to mean the same as the 
word “Primer” means in our enlightened days.

AN IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL DRAWINGS BY JOHN 
LEECH. 

These drawings formed part of the collection formerly in the possession 
of John Leech’s sister, who mounted them in albums. The text beneath 
each drawing (copies from “Punch’) is very probably in her handwriting 
At her request, JoHN RUSKIN wrote an article on Leech’s Drawings, from 
which the following extracts are taken— 

“IT am honored by the request of the sister of John Leech that I should 
give some account of the drawings of her brother which remain in her 
possession: and I am able to fulfil her request without departing from 
the rule which has always bound me, not to allow any private interest 
to weigh with me in speaking of matters which concern the public. It 
is merely and simply a matter of Public concern that the value of these 
drawings should be known, and measures taken for their acquisition, or, 
at least, for obtaining a characteristic selection from them, as a National 
Property. It cannot be necessary for me or for anyone now to praise 
the work of John Leech. Admittedly, it contains the finest definition 
and natural history of the classes of our Society, the kindest and sublest 


‘analysis of its foibles, the tenderest flattery of its pretty and well-bred 


ways, with which the modesty of subservient genius ever amused or im- 
mortalized careless masters. 

“But it is not generally known how much more valuable, as art, the. 
first sketches for the woodcuts were than the finished drawings, even 
before those drawings sustained any loss in engraving. 

“Of all rapid and condensed realization ever accomplished bY the pencil, 
John Leech’s is the most dainty, and the least fallible, in the subjects 
of which he was cognizant. . . . In flexibility and lightness of pencilling 
nothing but the best outlines of Italian Masters with the silver point can 
be compared to them. 

“That Leech sketched English squires instead of saints, and their daugh- 
ters instead of martyrs, does not in the least affect the question respecting 
skill and pencilling; and I repeat deliberately that nothing but the best 
work of sixteenth century Italy with the silver point exists in art, which 
in rapid refinement these playful English drawings do not excel.” 

Accompanying these drawings are the original numbers of “PuNcH” 
and the “Punch Almanacks” for 1850 and 1858, which contain the wood 
eut reproductions of the drawings. 


503. LgECH (JOHN). OricinaAL Drawine IN PEN-AND-INK, on a small en- 


as 


velope, which was used by Leech to send a letter to J. M. Fleming, 
Esq., whose address is cleverly marked on the envelope. It is 
stamped and post-marked, 1860, which is one year after the publi- 
eation of “A Little Tour in Ireland,” illustrated by Leech. Framed 
and glazed.

“Talking of puns :-— 
‘Why do they not give us quail for dinner, as usual?’ demanded Count 


Fessis, the other day,..of H——-, the classicist and sportsman. 
‘Because at this season,’ replied H——, who was dozing, ‘qaulis sopor 
fessis. (Quail is so poor, Fessis).”

“An infinity of error makes its way into our Philosophy, through Man’s 
habit of considering himself a citizen of a world solely—of an individual 
planet—instead of at least occasionally contemplating his position as cos- 
mopolite proper—as a denizen of the Universe.”

“The Carlyle-ists should adopt, as a motto, the inscription on the old 
bell from whose metal was cast the Great Tom, of Oxford:— In Thomae 
laude resono ‘Bim! Bom? ‘sine fraude’v—and ‘Bim! Bom, in such 
case, would be a marvellous “echo of sound to sense.”

1810, on an average of four monthly, some changes were made from 
the plan originally designed by the publishers, Ackermann. 

The interiors and structural artistic work is done by the famous 
architectural artist Pugin, the. figures on each plate are by Thomas 
Rowlandson. Pugin is noted for his accuracy and elegant taste, and 
Rowlandson’s work, in this instance, is wonderful in its versatility, 
ranging from a scene in the Drawing Room of St. James Palace to the 
interior of a Prison Chapel; or showing a Ballet scene in an Opera 
House, and with equal merit, picturing a Session of the House of 
Lords. ; 

The Work of Rowlandson in the Microcosm is different from most 
of his illustrations in other works. It lacks the coarseness and gro- 


tesque quality that is generally characteristic of his work.

The plates to the English Dance of Death constitute some of. Row-

grotesque spirit with such appropriateness, that the Dance of Death

a A SINGULARLY ATTRACTIVE AND REMARKABLE SPECIMEN. This drawing 

j rH i represents a gay scene at a Boat Landing. A Vessel has probably just 

been landed. Some of the Seamen are crowded in a coach and are about 
to be driven off; others are seated at a tabel smoking and drinking. 

A few people are looking out of an Inn window. <A young woman 

and sailor are dancing surrounded by a crowd of interesting spectators. 

A sign hung on the roof of the boat-house reads, “Jack Ratlin, late 

Boatswain, to the Victory.” In all, there are about 45 figures. Many 

sail boats are seen, sailing away from the shore. 

A London dealer discovered this drawing at Exeter, England, whither 
he had gone to purchase books. Appreciating its merit he bought it, 
the signature not being visible. After removing the mat he found that 
it was signed in full—“7. Rowlandson.”

HAS EVER BEEN OFFERED FOR SALE AT AUCTION IN AMERICA. IT IS EQUALLED ~ 
BY BUT TWO OTHER COPIES IN AMERICA, BOTH OF WHICH ARE IN PRIVATE 
COLLECTIONS IN NEw York. Attention is called to the following,— 

(1) The yellow wrappers are complete, the numerous technicalities 
as to brackets, dates, etc., being in correct first-issue state. 

(2) The advertisements and interesting “Slips” that were so frequently 
destroyed or omitted as eS Fair” grew in popularity, are each in 
their proper “Number.” — 

(3) The interesting first-issue “points,” the “Steyne’ woodcut, and 
others, so eagerly sought for by Thackeray collectors, are here present 
without exception. 

(4) The presence of a number of the original tissues between the 
plates, each showing an “offset” is an added and unusual feature. 

(5) The superb condition of the backs, as issued, without any restoration 
whatever. 


Some years ago the late eminent bibliographer, Luther 8. Living aon, 
compiled and published anonymously, a bibliography of “Vanity Fair,” 
which appeared in the Boston Evening Transcript. Later discoveries 
have established the fact that Mr. Livingston was in error in a few 
of his statements, the following of which is a comparison and list. 

The Boston Transcript Collation states that the inside front wrapper 
of Nos. I. to XIII. should read “‘ConTENntTS oF No. I.” ete. 

In the first five wrappers of the present copy, there is simply the 
word “CONTENTS.” 

The present copy is quite correct in this respect, the numbers being 
added subsequently, evidently for the sake of uniformity. 

The Boston Transcript Collation requires the absence of the square 
bracket in front of the Price on wrapper XVI. This occurs only on 
undated numbers, and the present copy is therefore correct. 

The inside of the back wrapper of Part IX. is identical with the inside 
of the back wrapper of Parr X. The Boston Transcript collation states 
that the first line of Part X. should have the words “NoveLs” AND 
“TALES” in capitals, differing from Part IX. where these words were 
evidently in even type with the remainder of the line. 

The Brayton Ives Copy (sold by The American Art Association in 
1915) had advertisements in Parr IV., 4pp.—a repetition of the adver- 
tisement in Part III. 

The mention of this advertisement does not appear in the original 
ee Transcript Collation. Being a repetition, it is evidently an 
addition. 


The Boston Transcript Collation requires the advertisements at the

Original Drawing for “Vanity Fair.” [No. 631]

Third Session, Tuesday Evening, April 24th 


[ No. 631—Continued | 


VANITY Farr was published in 1848, but the book was written (ac- 
cording to Thackeray’s daughter (Lady Ritchie), in 1845. Many years 
later, in 1897, Thackeray’s daughter wrote an introduction,—“A Memorial” 
—to the Biographical Edition of Thackeray’s Works. She illustrated her 
discussion of “Vanity Fair” by publishing the drawing “Amelia Waiting,” 
and the first of the studies of the Miss Osbornes.

632. THACKERAY (WILLIAM MAKEPEACE). ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF A 


ae 


pe 


PORTION OF AN UNPUBLISHED PLAY, BY THACKERAY, written on 
THIRTEEN PAGES, QUARTO. Lach page neatly inlaid, the whole bound 
in one vol. 4to, blue crushed levant morocco, rich gilt tooled back, 
broad dentelle inside borders, crimson watered silk doublures and 
linings, gilt edges, lettered on side, BY RIVIPRE. Circa 1840 


A THACKERAY MANUSCRIPT OF GREAT IMPORTANCE, AND THE FIRST TIME 
IT HAS APPEARED IN A PUBLIC SALE, HAVING BEEN IN THE POSSESSION OF 
THE NOVELIST’S DAUGHTER SINCE HER FATHER’S DEATH IN 1863. HER AUTO- 
GRAPH ATTESTATION TO THAT EFFECT IN THE VOLUME READS: 

“This portion of the original manuscript of an unpublished play by 
my father, W. M. Thackeray. It has been in my possession since his 
death in 1863.” (Signed) “ANNE RITCHIE.” 

The subject of this Play is founded on the story of MAry ANCEL and 
has a connection with that narrative which constitutes one of the most 
important Sketches of the “Paris Sketch Book,’ Thackeray’s first pub- 
lished work, 1840. 

The story itself is said to be founded on actual fact. Thackeray 
has taken the material, and presented it in two entirely different forms,— 
the simple narrative of the story in the “Paris Sketch Book,”’—and the 
humorous and satirical dialogue OF THIS PORTION OF THE ABOVE UNPUB- 
LISHED PLAY. 

Although the names of a few of the characters have been changed, a 
careful reading of both the story and the play will be sufficient evi- 
dence to convince the reader that Thackeray had the same story in 
mind when he wrote these two articles. 

Following is the text of the first two pages. 

Masor. Ho, La Tulipe, bring me my medicine, I am growing weak, you 
rascal, without it. (La Tulipe pours out a glass from a Vial.) 

La Turiree. Ha, Ha, here it is Commandant. It’s the only remedy for a 
poor invalid like you. 

Magor (tastes it). Confusion! Youve been putting water to this 
brandy, you scoundrel. 

La T. Not /, sir, upon honour. But I got the last bottle at a new shop, 
and perhaps their cognac is not quite so good as that you had 
formerly. Are we never to get away, Major? There’s all sorts of 
fighting going on, and here you stay with that old wound of yours 
that to my knowledge is no more painful than a flea-bite. 

Magsor. Silence, Sirrah. What do you know about my wound? T tell 
you it shall never be cured until ’'m married Sir. What a Muny you 
are to talk about glory and fighting: Do you think I would be such 
a fool as to fight when I can get twenty thousand pounds a year by 
remaining at home? This is my house look you, La Tulipe. I intend 
to live here. I intend to marry that darling girl. I intend to build 
a good dining room; to have a billiard table from Paris. Iu enlarge 
the stables, and the cellars are dreadfully cold. I'll put old Ancel 
up into one of the garrets, and in the company of his daughter, PU

manage his property for him: and devote the rest of my days to 
peace and pleasure. ait 

La T. Are you sure of the lady, Sir? 

Masor. Sure, what do you mean? Let any other suitor come near her, 
that’s all. I have already done for 3. There was young Paul that I 
frightened off by a few big words . . . h’s past and gone, and mar- 
ried to Brown Bess. There was the Miller’s son that was hankering 
after her. I’ve taught him to keep his distance by putting a bullet 
into his shoulder, and there was the dandy from Paris who has gone 
back again with a slight poke in the ribs that will remind him of his 
fatal attachment for many a day. Curse them, I’ll serve them all so, 
and here I'll stick with the depot of the regiment. Do you think any 
woman can stand perseverance and warm affection like mine? She 
must yield, I tell you. I give her three months more and then La 
Tulipe, you shall drink the health of the Countess O'Reilly. 

La T. I don’t believe there'll be any Count O'Reilly at all by that time. 
They'll break you Sir, or have your head off, which is pretty much 
the same. AS sure as your name’s John.

ONE OF THE FINEST SPECIMENS OF ITS KIND KNOWN. Presented to his 
friend, Stanfield, the artist. On the top of the sheet Thackeray has 
written,—“My dear Stanfield: This Paternoster is a great deal smaller 
than the last and also written without spectacles by your obedient Ser- 
vant, W. M. T.”

8vo, no place or date (probably London, March, 1857). To “My 
Dear (Wilham Harrison) Ainsworth.” Framed and glazed. 


A VERY IMPORTANT AUTOGRAPH LETTER, WITH MENTION OF CHARLES DICK- 
ENS, and the great “Titmarsh Banquet,” to which apparently both Dickens 
and Ainsworth had been invited by Thackeray. 

“My dear Ainsworth: 

There comes a note from Dickens who begs too for a remission of the 
dinner—as I can’t have it without my two waring animals: and the play 
wouldn’t be worth coming to with the part of Hamlet omitted—the great 
Titmarsh Banquet is hereby postponed, to be held on some other occasion 
however with uncommon splendor. 

Yrs. Ever.

head. One day Thackeray was lunching at Folkestone with Sir William 
and Lady Knighton, and suggested that they have a bottle of wine. 
“Champagne at luncheon! Oh, no, Mr. Thackeray, I shan’t allow 1h A 
said the lady. But Thackeray was not to be dissuaded. He argued his 
own thirst, offered to drink the greater part of the bottle, and finally 
promised Lady Knighton a shilling if she would consent. That bribe 
could not be resisted, and the wine was ordered. The next day Thackeray 
sent her the shilling in the shape of twelve penny postage stamps with 
the head of the Queen in red. He cut the head out of each, and pasted 
the stamps on paper. Her Majesty’s body was finished with pen and ink. 
Another head was supplied with a moustache and was made into a 
resemblance of the Prince Consort, while the other ten, by means of 
clipping with the scissors and pen additions, complete the Royal Family 
from the then Prince of Wales down. In the background there is an 
outline sketch which, without doubt, is meant to be Windsor Castle.

636. THACKERAY (WILLIAM MAKEPEACE). ORIGINAL PEN-AND-INK Draw- 
ING, being the initial Vignette of Chapter III, Volume 7 of “Pen- 

hg “dennis.” The figure is that of a butler with a basket and bottles, 
and is said to be a portrait of John, Thackeray’s butler. Beneath 
the sketch Thackeray has written, “Chap. III. Pendennis. John 
go and get some maderw.” Framed and glazed. (1850) 


637. THACKERAY (WILLIAM MAHEPEACE). ORIGINAL DRAWING on a block 
by be of wood, probably an outline for an engraving. Framed and glazed. 


The Block is a horizontal section from a trunk of a tree. The Sketeh 
was probably made in Ireland. 


638. THacKERAY (WriLLIAM Makepeace). Library Ticket, probably one 
fe issued at the British Museum, autographed by Thackeray,—“Bran- 
— tome. Oeuvres de. 14 vols. 1740. . Agust 18,” (no year but prob- 
ably in the middle fifties), and with the title of the work borrowed. 
Between two sheets of glass. 
INTERESTING AND UNUSUAL SPECIMEN. The signature specially good. 


639. THACKERAY (WILLIAM MakEPEACE), LEECH (JOHN), AND LEMON 
(Marx). Original Pen-and-Ink Drawings BY ALL THREE, on a 
single sheet. Lightly hinged. Framed and glazed. 


Ww A VALUABLE AND INTERESTING SPECIMEN OF THE SKILL OF EACH ARTIST. 

Thackeray, Leech and Lemon,—probably in an idle moment,—were dis- 
cussing their skill at minute writing without the aid of glasses, and 
naturally, they proceeded to paper with their friendly contest. 
. Thackeray drew.a circle with a threepenny piece, and wrote the Lord’s 
Prayer within it, leaving ample room for the crown and “3” in the 
centre; Lemon selected a line from the title of “Punch,” and wrote 
it twice; and Leech made some delightful little drawings of men and 
horses. 

The paper is stamped ‘Whitefriars, London.”

Roor. London, 1821-1822 


LARGE AND FINE COPY OF THIS RARE AND CURIOUS WORK. 

Although the plates are unsigned, they are considered by experts to 
be by C. Williams who did a number of books of this character at this 
period, and who illustrated another of Alfred Thornton’s Books, “The 
Adventures of a Post Captain.” 

This entertaining work is a curious specimen of book-making. It 
was published in parts, and as far as the middle of Volume I was 
founded upon a very free paraphrase of Byron’s Poem, of which but 
five cantos had then appeared. About this time, “Life in London” leaped 
into popularity. It’s success was so phenomenal that it was sufficient 
for the Author of “Den Juan,” and straightway, Don Juan was pressed 


into rivalry with ‘Ton’ and Jerry.”

Vaughan, and is corrected throughout by the author whose name and 
handwriting is in the leaf opposite the title-page. 

Isaac Walton was born in 1593, and died on the 15th of December, 
1683, at the age of 90. 

In the year 1616, he opened a shop in the Royal Burse built by Sir Th. 
Gresham. He was a Sempster at that time, He afterwards kept a hosiers 
shop in Fleet Street. 

Hooker’s Life in 1664. 

Herbert’s Life was written not long before 1670. 

Walton’s Life of Sanderson which I have in a separate volume first 
appeared before some of that bishop’s pieces in 1677. 

BH. M.” 

Facing the above concluding lines, we find a further history of this 
most interesting volume, as follows,— 

“This book was purchased by me at the sale of the books of the late 
Edmund Malone, Esq., and presented by me, A.D. 1825, to my friend and 
brother angler, the Rev. S. Tilbrook of St. Peter’s College, Cambridge. 

r ROBERT CLUTTERBUCK.” 

Beneath is written,— 

“This book given by my late father Clutterbuck, the Historian of Hert- 
fordshire to the Rev. S. Tilbrook was, after the death of the Rev. Til- 
brook, given to me by his widow.” 

WALTON’S CORRECTIONS MADE IN THE TEXT will be found at eight open- 
ings; some of them following those noted in the list of Errata and others 
are independent of it. 

Thus, the history of this copy is to be traced for a period of over 150 
years. Printed in 1670, it must have been given by Walton to Chief 
Justice Vaughan very shortly after, as that judge died in 1674; but 
there is every probability that it reposed unknown and unnoticed upon 
the family library shelves until sales by auction became more common 
in the latter part of the eighteenth century. 

From about 1770 to 1810, Malone was an active literary man, a friend 
of Johnson, and a member of the circle of wits and writers-gathered 
around the great lexicographer. 

Clutterbuck, the next owner, was the historian of the county which 
was beloved by Walton, who fished in its streams, and immortalized 
them in his ‘Complete Angler.” 

For a notice of Walton, see an account of him and his last will 
(which was made in 1683) in Hawkin’s Ace. of his Complete Angler, 


1760 and 1775.

Conditions of Sale 


1. Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by 
the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid would be likely to atfect the sale in- 
juriously. 

2. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arise between 
two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for 
re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

3. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the purchase money as 
may be required, and the names and addresses of the purchasers shall be given 
immediately on the sale of every lot, in default of which the lot so purchased 
shall be immediately put up again and re-sold. 

Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at the time of sale, 
shall be made within ten days thereafter, in default of which the undersigned may 
either continue to hold the lots at the risk of the purchaser and take such action 
as may be necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at publie or private 
sale, and without other than this notice, re-sell the lots for the benefit of such pur- 
chaser, and the deficiency (if any) arising from such re-sale, shall be a charge 
against such purchaser. 


4. Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon payment of the total 
amount due for all purchases at the sale. 

Deliveries will be made on sales days between the hours of 9 A. M. and 1 P. M., 
and on other days—except holidays—between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. 

Delivery of any purchase will be made only at the American Art Galleries, or 
other place of sale, as the case may be, and only on presenting the bill of purchase. 

Delivery may be made, at the discretion of the Association, of any purchase — 
during the session of the sale at which it was sold. 


5. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the 
Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed by the Association 
for purchasers. The Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility 
for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, how-

of the parties engaged for such service. 


6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the purchaser. Title

7. Guarantee is not made either by the owner or the Association of the cor- 
rectness of the description, genuineness or authenticity of any lot, and no sale will 
be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing, or any imper- 
fection not noted. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its 
sale, after which it is sold “as is” and without recourse. 

The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly, and will 
give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any 
lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the 
lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby 
would become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion with- 


out proper foundation. SPECIAL NOTICE 

Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on orders trans- 
mitted to it by mail, telegraph or telephone, will be faithfully attended to without 
charge or commission. Any purchase so made will be subject to the above Condi- 
tions of Sale, which cannot in any manner be modified. The Association, however, 
in the event of making a purchase of a lot consisting of one or more books for a 
purchaser who has not, through himself or his agent, been present at the exhibition 
or sale, will permit such lot to be returned within ten days from the date of sale, 


and the purchase money will be returned, if the lot in any material manner ‘differs 
from its catalogue description. ‘ 


Orders for execution by the Association should be written and given with 
such plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot 
number be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much 
for the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects 
of art, the bid per volume or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting 
the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit should be sent or reference 
submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. 

Priced copies of the catalogue of any sale, or any session thereof, will be 
furnished by the Association at a reasonable charge.

AUTOGRAPH PRESENTATION OF COPY FROM THE AUTHOR TO HIS PHYSICIAN, 
Dr. ELLIOTSON, WITH INSCRIPTION ON THE DEDICATION PAGE,—“ Doctor El-

In addition this copy was presented by Dr. Elliotson to his nephew, 
E. Spence Symes, and has his autograph inscription beneath that of 
Charles Dickens “and from John Elliotson to H. Spence Symes, 1864.” 

Doctor Elliotson was the physician of Charles Dickens and a friend of 
William Makepeace Thackeray. Dickens dedicated “Great Expectations” 
to him. It became his custom to present his presentation copies of

AN EARLY DICKENS AUTOGRAPH OF UNIQUE INTEREST, CHARACTERISTIC, 
HUMOROUS, AND OF GREAT IMPORTANCE. In part, Dickens writes,— 


“Recitative. Youwre wery funny so you air 
Good people’s sides you shake,

Youve made a small mistake, 
For ‘Thursday’ ain't the day... .

Oh then like the Page—Go and Play” .. .”

CHarLES DICKENS OF THE EPITAPH HE COMPOSED FOR THE GRAVE 
STONE OF Mrs. KarHeriInE THomson (the grandmother of Mrs. 
Charles. Dickens). Together with the autograph letter from 
CuarLEs DickENs which accompanied the manuscript when sent 
to George Thomson, her husband. The letter and manuscript are 
loosely tipped on mounts and bound together with printed descrip- 
tion and a specially written title-page in red and black. 8vo, full 
green polished morocco, gilt back, gilt lines on sides, solid gilt edges, 
BY SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE. | [London:] Nov. 26, 1841 


A UNIQUE AND EXTREMELY INTERESTING DICKENS LETTER AND MANU- 
SCRIPT. FACH ONE-PAGE. The original autograph letter to George Thom- 
son expresses Dickens’s desire that he may like the epitaph, and apolo- 
gizes for delay in writing it, giving the excuse of illness. The letter is 
signed in full and is dated, Friday November 26, 1841. The epitaph reads: 
“Sacred to the ashes of Katherine Thomson, for sixty years the dear 
wife of George Thomson of Edinburgh. She died at Brompton on the 
thirteenth of October, 1841; . . . The adjoining grave is that of her 
grandchild who died in the early bloom of womanhood. This is the resting 
place of one whose honored head was gray. It is hard to lose those whom 
we fondly love . . . but it is a happy thing to believe that in eternity 
there is perpetual youth and happiness for all. . .” 

“The adjoining grave” refers to that of Mary Hogarth whose death 
Dickens mourned throughout all his life. His beautifully phrased con- 
trast of the ages of the two, and, his expression of belief in ‘a happy 
eternity for all’ gives a personal picture of Dickens seldom found in 
original autographic material. The facsimile and printed description 
bound up with the item originally appeared in ‘The Dickensian.’ 

Purchased directly from a living member of the Dickens family.

CONCERNING HIS FIRST SEPARATELY PUBLISHED BOOK, “The Paris Sketch

WORK WAS NOT THE ONE THAT THACKERAY ORIGINALLY HAD IN MIND, 
BELIEVED TO BE ENTIRELY UNPUBLISHED.

suM OF £50. FoR THE “2 wollums, with 20 drawings.” 

MEntTIonsS Mactisr, AINSWORTH, AND Manony (author of “Reliques of 
Father Prout.) 

Owing to the unusually interesting contents the following lengthy 


“excerpt is given,— 


“My dear Macrone. ; 
Mahony has just brought me your letter. I will send to you half a 
dozen drawings by Wednesday’s post (wh will cost you money). I 
tried them on the copper, but what I did was so bad that I felt mortified 
at my failure and did not care to write to you about it . . . This week 
I have painted a large picture of Dando by wh I hope to procure immor- 
tality, & two smaller drawings besides writing those famous letters to 
the Constitutional wh the two people who read that paper declare un- 
paralleled (how do you spell it?) . . . How are Maclises frontis- 
piecesseses? Give Ainsworth a shake of the hand. He has praised me 
so much that I must love him ever after. Signed,—_“W. M. Thackeray.” 
WRITTEN ON THE SIDE OF THE PAGE: ‘Will you give mé 50 pounds. Do 
now for the 1st edition of a book in 2 wollums with 20 drawings 
entitled Rambles & Sketches in old and new Paris, by W. T. I have not 
of course written a word of it, that’s why I offer it so cheap, but I want
